To calculate the binding energy per nucleon of the \( _{20}^{40}\text{Ca} \) nucleus, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Number of Protons and Neutrons The atomic number \( Z \) of Calcium is 20, which means it has 20 protons. The mass number \( A \) is 40, which means the total number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) is 40. Therefore, the number of neutrons \( N \) can be calculated as: \[ N = A - Z = 40 - 20 = 20 \] ...
